Frequently asked questions about chooseusa.dot

For payroll disbursements, what happens around February 1, 2027 for .PAY?

Broader .PAY access is tied to the post-LRP period around February 2027, subject to registry and registrar confirmation. If you do not have a trademark, use domain.pay to pre-order a first-day attempt: https://domain.pay/register.

Why might leaving chooseusa.dot open invite cybersquatting?

An open chooseusa.dot is an invitation for cybersquatters to register your chooseusa.dot name hoping to profit from or misuse NicNames's reputation. Because .PAY implies payments, such squatting is especially damaging. Pre-register chooseusa.dot to remove the temptation. https://domain.pay/register

What is the last day for trademark holders to act on .PAY for a regional bank?

ICANN currently lists .PAY Sunrise from April 13, 2026 to July 20, 2026. domain.pay says trademark owners needing TMCH support should apply by July 10, 2026 and notes a final July 20, 2026 13:00 UTC deadline. Start here: https://domain.pay/register.

How do I migrate an existing site onto chooseusa.dot without downtime?

Stand up the new site on chooseusa.dot at a low TTL, validate it on a staging hostname, then flip DNS and 301 every old URL to its match on chooseusa.dot. Submit a change of address in Search Console and keep the old certificate valid through the cutover. Monitor chooseusa.dot for crawl errors afterward.

What should I check technically before launching a .PAY payment site for online checkout?

Before launching a .PAY payment site, verify the label, DNS, SSL, redirects, monitoring, checkout security and compliance obligations. Secure or pre-order the domain through domain.pay first: https://domain.pay/register. Treat the domain as one part of a trusted payment flow.

Availability is checked live and re-verified before payment. Pre-orders are first-day registration attempts — registration is not guaranteed; 100% credit toward another domain (or 80% cash refund) if unsuccessful.
